Hop BroDD4D BREWING in Ehime has put out Lucky Charm for its 7th anniversary. This is exactly the kind of anniversary beer that feels like a celebratory gift.
MugiWhoa! The name itself feels lucky! Lucky Charm sounds like a guaranteed win before you even take a sip!
Hop BroThe style is Double IPA, and it's dry-hopped with Krush, Citra, and Mosaic. It's got the momentum of a hop aroma trio, or maybe even a quartet.
MugiWhat even is dry-hopping? Do they dry the hops first? That sounds weirdly like laundry for beer!
Hop BroBasically, it means adding hops after boiling to bring the aroma forward. The point is that you keep the freshness of the hop character, not just the bitterness.
MugiI see! Then it makes sense why it says tropical aroma. I love fruity flavors, so this really tempts me!
Hop BroExactly. The way citrus and dank layer on top of that is very DD4D. You get bright citrus notes plus a deeper, earthier hop dimension.
MugiDank, huh!? You mean earthy aroma? That suddenly makes it sound like I'm being taken out to a field!
Hop BroThink of it as a dense, green hop aroma. And even though this beer looks pale and light, it's still a proper Double IPA at 8.0% ABV.
MugiWait, it looks light but it's strong on the inside!? Light mouthfeel with 8% ABV is totally the kind of beer that lets you let your guard down!
Hop BroDD4D is a brewery based in Matsuyama that's always valued collaborations and new experiences. So when you hear this is a beer packed with gratitude for seven years, it makes you want to drink it even more.
MugiWow, hearing that makes it impossible not to want one! I want to raise a toast right now and celebrate the anniversary with those tropical aromas!
